Developmental Test Technology Investment
Abstract
Develops, acquires, and sustains critical test technology and instrumentation. Provides the necessary test instrumentation, computer and communications systems, data collection, analysis and reporting equipment, and other special test capabilities to successfully develop and test Army weapons and equipment. Provides the necessary live, virtual and constructive environment, hardware-in-the-loop capabilities, and modeling and simulation (M&S) needed for testing Army materiel solutions. Acquires instrumentation to measure performance of C4 systems; reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) data collection on tracked and wheeled vehicles; ballistic transducers for measuring chamber pressures during ammunition and barrel tests; supports development of common data collection instrumentation and data management systems used in testing across all test commodity areas and lifecycles; continues replacement and upgrade of range control instrumentation, radar, optics and telemetry used in missile testing; acquires data recorders, signal conditioning equipment, data processing equipment and other instrumentation for various aircraft tests; upgrades natural environments test instrumentation used for testing weapon systems, vehicles, munitions and support equipment in extreme hot desert environments as well as extreme cold conditions; continues upgrade of survivability/vulnerability test capabilities in support of live fire testing; upgrades and replaces mobile range communications equipment and digital end devices; and improves test efficiency through the use of smart devices as data collectors.
